Kupe
Walt: Learn about Kupe
Kupe was a great chief of Hawaiki (Tahiti), whose father was from
Rarotonga, and whose mother was from Rangiatea (Ra'iatea), where
her father lived. These were the three islands over which Kupe’s
mana (power) extended. One day Kupe's fishermen went out with
lines and hooks to their traditional fishing grounds.

Kupe was a man who sailed to New Zealand on a waka and named
New Zealand Aotearoa. Te Pehi Kupe’s portrait, painted in England
in 1824, shows an elaborately tattooed man aged about 30; from this
portrait, his date of birth has been estimated in 1795.

Reflection - I like how we had to find out information about Kupe and how we learned about his life .
